.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is an implementation of the Server Cache Synchronization
|
|
Protocol (SCSP) for the Host ATM Research Platform (HARP)
|
|
networking software.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility synchronizes the cache(s) of server(s)
|
|
running on a host with the caches of servers on remote hosts.
|
|
SCSP is defined for a number of different protocols, but the present
|
|
version of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
only supports ATMARP.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By using
|
|
.Nm
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr atmarpd 8 ,
|
|
one can provide multiple
|
|
ATMARP servers in a single ATM LIS.
|
|
This might be useful, for example, when a LIS consists of a number of
|
|
local-area ATM networks connected by long-distance links.
|
|
Each local-area network could have its own ATMARP server, with all the
|
|
servers' caches being synchronized by SCSP.
|
|
Then, if a long-distance link fails, hosts on a local-area network
|
|
will still have connectivity to other local hosts (since they all use
|
|
the local ATMARP server); when the long-distance link is restored,
|
|
SCSP will re-synchronize the servers' caches, restoring
|
|
connectivity to remote hosts.
|
|
Both
|
|
.Nm
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr atmarpd 8
|
|
must be running before any ATMARP
|
|
cache synchronization can take place.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility implements SCSP as specified in RFC 2334,
|
|
.%T "Server Cache Synchronization Protocol (SCSP)"
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa draft\-ietf\-ion\-scspd\-atmarpd\-00.txt ,
|
|
.%T "A Distributed ATMARP Service using SCSP" .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
starts, it parses its command line and puts
|
|
itself into the background.
|
|
.Sh TERMINOLOGY
|
|
Some of the vocabulary associated with SCSP can be confusing.
|
|
In this document, the following definitions are used:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Em "Client server"
|
|
or
|
|
.Em "local server"
|
|
means the server running on
|
|
the same host as
|
|
.Nm
|
|
whose cache is to be synchronized with that
|
|
of one or more remote servers.
|
|
When the word
|
|
.Em server
|
|
is used alone, it means
|
|
.Em "client server" .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Em "Remote server"
|
|
means a server running on some host other than
|
|
the one where
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is running.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Em "Directly Connected Server"
|
|
(DCS) means a remote server that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
communicates with directly.
|
|
The remote server will also be running an implementation of SCSP.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Em "Cache Alignment"
|
|
(CA) has two meanings.
|
|
The Cache Alignment protocol is a part of the SCSP protocol
|
|
specification, and the Cache Alignment finite state machine (FSM)
|
|
is a finite state machine that implements the Cache Alignment
|
|
protocol.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
The command-line options are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "-f <cfg\-file>"
|
|
.It Fl f Aq Ar cfg\-file
|
|
Specifies the name of the configuration file.
|
|
If this option is not specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
looks for the
|
|
file
|
|
.Pa /etc/scspd.conf .
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Specifies that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is to be run in debug mode.
|
|
In debug mode, the daemon is not put into the background.
|
|
Log messages are written to standard output instead of to
|
|
the log file specified in the configuration file.
|
|
.It Fl T Ns Aq Ar options
|
|
Specifies that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will trace specified events and messages
|
|
as it executes.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl T
|
|
flag is followed by one or more of the following
|
|
options:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 4n -compact
|
|
.It Cm c
|
|
trace
|
|
.Nm Ns 's
|
|
CA Finite State Machine (FSM),
|
|
.It Cm h
|
|

|
|
.Nm Ns 's
|
|
Hello FSM,
|
|
.It Cm i
|
|
trace
|
|
.Nm Ns 's
|
|
Client Interface FSM,
|
|
.It Cm C
|
|
trace CA, CSUS, CSU Request, and CSU Reply messages,
|
|
.It Cm H
|
|
trace Hello messages,
|
|
.It Cm I
|
|
trace interface messages to and from
|
|
.Nm Ns 's
|
|
clients.
|
|
.El
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh CONFIGURATION
|
|
The configuration file consists of a sequence of configuration
|
|
statements.
|
|
These statements specify information about the servers,
|
|
both local and remote, whose
|
|
caches are to be synchronized by
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
RFC 2334,
|
|
.%T "Server Cache Synchronization Protocol (SCSP)"
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa draft\-ietf\-ion\-scspd\-atmarpd\-00.txt ,
|
|
.%T "A Distributed ATMARP Service using SCSP"
|
|
will be valuable in understanding how to configure
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A configuration statement other than a comment is terminated by a
|
|
semicolon.
|
|
Some statements contain blocks, delimited by braces
|
|
.No ( Dq Li {
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq Li } ) .
|
|
Configuration statement keywords are not case-sensitive,
|
|
but some parameters (e.g.\& interface names) are.
|
|
Configuration statements can span multiple lines.
|
|
.Ss Comments
|
|
Three types of comments are allowed:
|
|
.Bl -hang
|
|
.It Sy "# comments" :
|
|
any characters from
|
|
.Dq Li #
|
|
to the end of the line are ignored.
|
|
.It Sy "C comments" :
|
|
any characters between
|
|
.Dq Li /*
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq Li */
|
|
are ignored.
|
|
.It Sy "C++ comments" :
|
|
any characters from
|
|
.Dq Li //
|
|
to the end of the line are ignored.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Statements
|
|
The configuration statements recognized by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
are:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
Server <name> {
|
|
Protocol <protocol ID>;
|
|
Netif <if_name>;
|
|
ServerGroupID <ID>;
|
|
FamilyID <ID>;
|
|
DCS {
|
|
ATMaddr <ATM address>;
|
|
ID <host>;
|
|
CAReXmitInt <int>;
|
|
CSUSReXmitInt <int>;
|
|
CSUReXmitInt <int>;
|
|
CSUReXmitMax <cnt>;
|
|
HelloDead <cnt>;
|
|
HelloInt <int>;
|
|
Hops <cnt>;
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
Log {
|
|
File <file name>;
|
|
Syslog;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Where a host address needs to be specified in the configuration file,
|
|
either a DNS name or an IP address in dotted decimal format can
|
|
be used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
ATM addresses are specified as strings of hex digits, with an
|
|
optional leading
|
|
.Dq Li 0x .
|
|
Fields within the address may be separated by periods, but periods
|
|
are for readability only and are ignored.
|
|
ATM addresses are 20 bytes long.
|
|
The full address, including any leading zeroes, must be given.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "0x47.0005.80.ffe100.0000.f21a.0170.0020481a0170.00"
|
|
.Ss "Server Statement"
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic server
|
|
statement specifies a client server whose cache
|
|
to be synchronized with the caches of other servers
|
|
running on remote hosts.
|
|
There will be one
|
|
.Ic server
|
|
statement in the configuration file
|
|
for each client server whose cache is to be synchronized by
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
The format of the
|
|
.Ic server
|
|
statement is:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Ic Server
|
|
.Aq Ar name
|
|
{
|
|
.Aq Ar statements
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
must be specified on the
|
|
.Ic server
|
|
statement, but it is
|
|
not used by
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
It is expected to give a brief description of the server's purpose.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic server
|
|
statement has several sub-statements
|
|
that specify the details of the
|
|
.Nm Ns 's
|
|
configuration.
|
|
They are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Ic Protocol Cm ATMARP ;
|
|
The only protocol supported by the current version of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is

|
|
statement must always be specified.
|
|
.It Ic Netif Aq Ar intf ;
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic netif
|
|
statement specifies the name of the ATM network
|
|
interface on which a client server is providing service.

.Ic netif
|
|
statement must always be specified.
|
|
.It Ic ServerGroupID Aq Ar ID ;
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic ServerGroupID
|
|
statement specifies an identifier for the
|
|
group of servers being synchronized by
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar ID
|
|
is specified as a decimal number in the range 0 - 65,535.
|
|
The server group ID must be the same for all servers whose caches
|
|
are being synchronized by an SCSP session.
|
|
That is, the server group ID for a host must be the same for all
|
|
Directly Connected Servers (DCSs) pointed to within a
|
|
.Ic server
|
|
statement.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic ServerGroupID
|
|
statement must always be specified.
|
|
.It Ic FamilyID Aq Ar ID ;
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic familyID
|
|
statement specifies an identifier for a family
|
|
of parallel SCSP sessions running between a group of hosts (i.e., a
|
|
set of SCSP sessions with different protocol IDs but the same set
|
|
of servers).
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar ID
|
|
is specified as a decimal number in the range 0 - 65,535.
|
|
The family ID is currently not used by
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss "DCS Statement"
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic DCS
|
|
statement is a sub-statement of the
|
|
.Ic server
|
|
statement
|
|
that specifies the characteristics of a Directly Connected Server (DCS).
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic server
|
|
statement will have one
|
|
.Ic DCS
|
|
statement for
|
|
each DCS that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is to exchange information with.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic DCS
|
|
statement has a number of sub-statements that specify the
|
|
details of the configuration for the DCS.
|
|
They are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Ic ATMaddr Aq Ar ATM\ address ;
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic ATMaddr
|
|
statement specifies the ATM address of the DCS.
|

|
|
For ATMARP, the ID is the IP address or DNS name associated with the
|
|
ATM interface of the DCS.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic ID
|
|
statement must always be specified.
|
|
.It Ic CAReXmitInt Aq Ar int ;
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic CAReXmitInt
|
|
statement specifies the interval that is
|
|
allowed to elapse between retransmissions of CA messages.
|
|
If a CA message is sent and an acknowledgement is not received within
|
|
.Ic CAReXmitInt
|
|
seconds, the message will be retransmitted.
|
|
The default value for
|
|
.Ic CAReXmitInt
|
|
is 3 seconds.
|
|
.It Ic CSUSReXmitInt Aq Ar int ;
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic CSUSReXmitInt
|
|
statement specifies the interval that is
|
|
allowed to elapse between retransmissions of CSU Solicit messages.
|
|
When a CSUS message is sent, any Cache State Advertisements (CSAs)
|
|
requested by the CSUS that have
|
|
not been received within
|
|
.Ic CSUSReXmitInt
|
|
seconds will be requested
|
|
again by another CSUS message.
|
|
The default value for
|
|
.Ic CSUSReXmitInt
|
|
is 3 seconds.
|
|
Be careful not to confuse
|
|
.Ic CSUSReXmitInt
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic CSUReXmitInt .
|
|
.It Ic CSUReXmitInt Aq Ar int ;
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic CSUReXmitInt
|
|
statement specifies the interval that is
|
|
allowed to elapse between retransmissions of CSU Request messages.
|
|
When a CSU Request message is sent, any CSAs that are not acknowledged
|
|
by a CSU Reply message within
|
|
.Ic CSUReXmitInt
|
|
seconds will
|
|
be retransmitted.
|
|
The default value for
|
|
.Ic CSUReXmitInt
|
|
is 2 seconds.
|
|
Be careful not to confuse
|
|
.Ic CSUReXmitInt
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic CSUSReXmitInt .
|
|
.It Ic CSUReXmitMax Aq Ar cnt ;
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic CSUReXmitMax
|
|
statement specifies the number of times that
|
|
a CSA will be retransmitted as described above before SCSP gives up
|
|
on the CSA and discards it.
|
|
The default value for
|
|
.Ic CSUReXmitMax
|
|
is 5.
|
|
.It Ic HelloDead Aq Ar cnt ;
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic HelloDead
|
|
statement specifies the Hello Dead Factor that
|
|
will be sent to the DCS in Hello messages.
|
|
A
|
|
.Dq "DCS down"
|
|
condition will be detected when nothing is received from
|
|
a DCS in
|
|
.Ic HelloDead No * Ic HelloInt

|
|
The
|
|
.Ic Hops
|
|
statement specifies the number of hops (DCS to DCS)
|
|
that will be specified in CSAs originating from the local server.
|
|
This number must be at least as large as the diameter of the
|
|
server group.
|
|
That is, it must be large enough for a CSA to be propagated from
|
|
server to server all the way across the server group.
|
|
The default value for
|
|
.Ic Hops
|
|
is 3.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss "Log Statement"
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic log
|
|
statement specifies how
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is to log
|
|
information about its operation.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility can write log information to a file, to the system log,
|
|
or both.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Ic File Aq Ar file\ name ;
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic file
|
|
statement specifies that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is to write
|
|
its log messages to the named file.
|
|
Log messages will be appended to the end of the file if
|
|
it already exists.
|
|
.It Ic Syslog ;
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic syslog
|
|
statement specifies that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is to write
|
|
its log messages to the syslog facility.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility writes its messages to syslog with a facility code
|
|
of
|
|
.Dv LOG_DAEMON .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no
|
|
.Ic log
|
|
statement is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
writes log
|
|
messages to the system log.
|
|
If both
|
|
.Ic file
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic syslog
|
|
are specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will
|
|
write log messages to both the named file and the system log.
|
|
.Ss Examples
|
|
An example of a simple configuration file for
|
|
.Nm
|
|
might be:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
server atmarp_ni0 {
|
|
protocol ATMARP;
|
|
netif ni0;
|
|
ServerGroupID 23;
|
|
DCS {
|
|
ID 10.1.1.2;
|
|
ATMaddr 0x47.0005.80.ffdc00.0000.0002.0001.002048061de7.00;
|
|
hops 2;
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This configuration would synchronize the cache of the ATMARP server
|
|
operating on network interface ni0 with the cache of a second server
|
|
running on a host whose IP address is 10.1.1.2.
|
|
Log messages would be written to the system log.
|
|
.Sh SIGNAL PROCESSING
|
|
The following signals can be used to control
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Dv SIGHUP
|
|
Reread the configuration file and restart
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.It Dv SIGINT
|
|
Dump debugging information to a file.
|
|
When it receives a
|
|
.Dv SIGINT
|
|
signal,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
dumps a summary of
|
|
its control blocks to a text file (see
